The boats then rowed away with an electric torch as their only signalling apparatus. They encountered high seas and strong wind, necessita ting continual baling.

After the "Minhoa" sighted the two boatloads" of shipwrecked men there was still considerable difficulty in picking them up due to the half gale. The tanker" Schwe Dagon" came up and went off in search of the other boat which was now brought by the Chittagong with the captain and others on board.
